Do you usually have an itch? Most times, we assume it must be dandruff, a common problem, but there are many conditions that can cause a dry, itchy scalp. An inflammatory skin condition called seborrheic dermatitis is also another cause of itchy scalp.

Causes of Itchy scalp include:

IRRITATED, OILY SKIN

You are more likely to have dandruff if you suffer from a condition called Seborrheic dermatitis, which affects many areas of the skin, including the scalp. In this case, the scalp produces extra skin cells. When these extra skin cells die and fall off, they mix with oils on the scalp, forming dandruff.

NOT BRUSHING YOUR HAIR ENOUGH

Brushing your hair regularly increases blood flow to the scalp, and helps in the normal shedding of skin, reducing the risk of dandruff. Plus, it’s totally relaxing!

4. Lemon juice

If the problem is mild, you can dilute it with water first. Leave it on for 5-10 minutes, then rinse it out. You can use this remedy daily.

5. Baking Soda
